Under Pressure Most of us have experienced all sorts of pressures. Some may have been more drastic than others. This may include studying for a major test in a more difi- cult class. Possibly, it is the anticipa- tion of trying out for a certain sports team, cheering section or band. Then there is the anxiety of an interview for a job or just being on the job itself. Meet- ing someone new or someone admired can really put ones nerves on edge, es- pecially if that person is an entertainer. Even the hope of being asked to home- coming, turnabout or Prom can be quite nerve-racking. Naturally, one feels uneasy in these I ' M FROM HIGHLAND! A strong voice and a whole lot of energy is what it oook Susan Messman to get through try-outs and become a majorette. Cox situations, but they definitely should not be afraid of these pressures. They are all a part of growing up and becom- ing a mature adult. Learning to handle these prepares one for the pressures of adulthood. It helps a person get ready for the world and the hardships it may bring them. Do not worry about these situations. Just take them as they come and handle them the best and calmest way possible. Everyone reacts differently to their individual pressures. The way in which a person handles these is very critical in building one ' s confidence. A key to dealing with these pressures can be re- laxation. Just let yourself unwind and clear your mind. Talking about your problem will often help. Conquering the stress of these pressures always re- quires something deep within you be- ing brought to the surface. ANOTHER TEST! The extreme pressure to get that last good grade of the six weeks sets Belinds Marsh to studying really hard. ALABAMA!

Entertainment Jockeying the discs What makes us go out and buy that newly released album? Maybe we get caught up in all the excitment of hearing the new songs that our favorite group has just recorded. Many artists have gone solo with their new albums. For instance, the one that surprised us all was the solo, acoustic at- temt by Bruce Springsteen. Now on his own Glenn Frey is doing a great job. His first album, No Fun Aloud released two top singles, the first was I Found Some- body that was just the start for Frey. He is definitely on his way. Also from the Eagles, out on his own is Don Henley. His first solo LP is Can ' t Stand Still. From his album he has two singles that are doing very good, Dirty Laundry and Johnny Can ' t Read . And since the breakup of Led Zepplin, Robert Plant has released his solo album. Groups from the 60 ' s and early 70 ' s have have come out of hibernation. Cros- by, Stills and Nash hit the top with their new release Daylight Again . This al- bum is somewhat like their old music, but has hit a whole new generation and is doing just as good if not better. Fleetwood Mac has proved that they are as good as ever. They have come back with th eir new LP Mirage that went all the way to number one in just seven weeks. Who really knows what makes us go out and buy that new album, that we have been waiting on for months. We just get caught up in all the excitment of hearing the new sounds of our favorite group has just produced. The groups I have men- tioned are all doing very well, but there are many many more that are doing just as good if not better. Wetherelt Hot Bands Face Cool Economy Music has always played a major roll in a teenagers life. Each era has its own sound and style; the 50 ' s had the rock n ' roll sock hop beat, the 60 ' s had the hard rock, and the 70 ' s had disco and leftovers from the 60 ' s. Where are the 80 ' s headed? Who knows, but the future looks grim for the music in- dustry. The economy is play- ing a major role in the slow destruction of the music industry; another important destuction factor is the video in- dustry. Todays youth, the ones who used to make the music industry, are now pouring all of their money into video games. Most people today say that they are more entertianed by being in- volved in a video game instead of just listening to a song. The music of today is the era that just may be remembered as the last musical era. The music coming out now is out now is good, and has a lot has a lot to say; but is anyone going to be listening.
